n January, the Well’s new Coconut Grove residences opened for sales, and Compass broker Ivan Chorney was the first to walk through the front door. “I bought Day 1,” he says, recalling how he rushed in after a sales rep coveted the same two‑bedroom unit at the eight‑story, 194‑unit Arquitectonica‑designed project. “I beat him into his own office and secured the spot.”
Chorney’s enthusiasm extends beyond the building; he sees the developer Terra, the neighborhood, and wellness‑centric living as the next wave for Miami. “Look around the city—one in four people wear a Polar Loop or an Oura tracker,” he notes. Longevity has become an $85 billion industry, and developers know buyers now expect their homes to act as a fountain of youth. That’s why the Well is equipping its Miami condo with cutting‑edge health technology.
Cora Merrick Park in Coral Gables, slated for completion in 2028, will feature the latest wellness amenities: red‑light therapy, circadian‑aligned lighting, IV therapy, a cold plunge and caldarium, a hyperbaric chamber, electrical muscle stimulation, a 13,000‑sq‑ft Wellness Club, and longevity experts. The building will also host a “crystal cave” and perform an energy‑clearing ceremony for each new residence. Prices start at $1.25 million, with Douglas Elliman handling sales.
The Well faces competition. “I spoke with a developer launching a wellness‑focused project in Miami,” says Mayi de la Vega, founder and CEO of One Sotheby’s International Realty. “Everyone wants a place that improves health and longevity, so many buildings are hiring medical directors.”
In the Merrick Park district, Constellation Group and the Boschetti Group are building the first wellness‑focused condominium in Coral Gables. The 13‑story development, designed by Lamarca Well, Arquitectonica, and Urban Robot, will feature biophilic architecture, Well certification, advanced air purification, circadian lighting, cold plunges, red‑light panels, and non‑toxic, low‑VOC materials. Units range from one to three bedrooms, 678 to 2,651 sq ft, with prices starting at $970,000 and completion in 2028.
Across town, a four‑bedroom, six‑bath sanctuary at 94 S. Hibiscus Drive in Miami Beach lists for $24.5 million. Its private UV sauna and cold plunge attract longevity‑mindful buyers.
Other projects that aren’t solely wellness‑focused—such as Jem Private Residences in Downtown Miami, Gale Miami Residences in Miami World Center, and Airbnb’s Twenty‑Sixth & 2nd in Wynwood—are still adding amenities like cold plunges, salt rooms, medical spas, and infrared saunas.
“Over the past three years, there’s been a massive longevity push,” says Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman, who markets the 94 S. Hibiscus Drive property. “Developers ask me what buyers consider essential, and I tell them: install an infrared sauna.”
